Visual Basic uint64 to date conversion
I created a class that returns the system up time. However the number it returns is a uint64 as thats what its base class returns. When i run the program it returns a value like this System Uptime = 94118 What want to do is convert this to a time and have it say something like 1 Day 22 hours 5mins and 30 seconds. However I a not sure how to do this, what does this number represent the number of seconds mins and what is a uint64 is that a 64bit integer If i knew say its the number of mins, then i know its a matter of just dividing by 60. etc.... Um, if you created the class you should know what it returns, shouldn't you ...Show All
Visual Basic COM Interop, Property Get,Let,Set Interface Attribute?
Hello, We are in the middle of a rather large piecemeal upgrade of our VB6 system to .NET 2.0. We started in 1.1 and have sence migrated that code to 2.0. We have done a few of our libraries to this point, and are gearing up to upgrade a lot more of them in the next month or so. We ran into a problem in our first library that required a rather nasty fix and I was hoping someone could point us to a better solution. Problem: The problem we are having is in VB6 we defined many properties of type Variant for the sole purpose of being able to store Null. These properties are typically used t ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Calling Declarative Tests
According to Rob Caron's blog ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/05/17/419001.aspx) it should be possible to call "declarative tests" from "coded tests."

Visual C# Read BarCode
hello,, im wondering how to read barcodes with a barcode reader,,, the barcode readers are ps2 and USB ... ,so whats the theory to read barcodes what APIS do i need,,, or what classes,, any articles about this would be great thx mig16 It depends on the BarCode reader, but most readers just emulate Keyboard input.

Visual FoxPro =SYS(1037) on VFP90 no longer allows printer changes
Can anyone tell me how to work around the changes in SYS(1037) I used to call this with =SYS(1037) before printing in a batch (checks and invoices) and it no longer allows my customers to change the printer in VFP90 (no 'apply' button). The 'prompt' option in REPORT FORM works just perfect too, but I don't want to call it in a loop (too repetative.) Any ideas Thanks The problem was solved by removing ALL references to the printer driver and setup in the report form itself. Previous versions of VFP must not have been as 'pickey' (technical term) with regard to SYS(1037): Open *.frx with USE Find record with Objt ...Show All

Visual Studio HowTo: Access instance of own property page
Hi, is it possible to access a specific instance of my own property page from my flavored project I need to modify a ComboBox on that page from my code. Regards, Jens Hello Jens, In general, property pages save their properties in the project or configuration. As a result the code that needs to access (read or write) those values would do that by accessing those same properties on the project/config directly. If you want to discuss this more in details, please include information about your scenario (is it configuration dependent/independent page, at which point in time are you trying to change the va ...Show All

SQL Server Is there a way around using MAX Statement on Report
I have a report that due to being unable to find a successful solution across the web relies on me using a value in a box as shown below; =MAX(Fields!budgeted_net_rent.Value) The problem I now have is that I have another field on the report and want to a =SUM on it and it tells me that you can't do that unless it is a header or footer and something about being part of an aggregate function. How can I fool SSRS into placing the value for this field into a sperate box so that I can complete the calculation I need to do. This report uses various drill throughs etc. If it is relevent, the value that I want to perform the calculat ...Show All
